Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1142 - 1136: United in Name, Divided in Spirit

Ronald never expected to hear such a request from the mouth of the cult magicians.

The memories from Waterfall City were still vivid.

The scene at the gathering of the cult magicians with Siesta was one of the most speechless scenes Ronald had ever seen.

And now, half a year later.

It's his turn to do the cult magicians' propaganda work?

Even considering his psychological repulsion, Ronald could not accept such a reality.

Ronald remained silent because of this.

But sitting beside him, Gwendolin seemed very interested, and even started talking directly with the negotiator of the cult magicians:

"You said Ronald should do the propaganda, can you elaborate on that?"

The negotiator of the cult magicians was startled, and then immediately explained his idea. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Actually, regarding the fleet of [Grid], we don't intend for it to be totally decimated from our side, just aiming to do some trivial work to fit the political propaganda task arranged on our side…"

The cult magicians narrated everything in detail.

Starting from the strength of [Anluo Island] itself, they didn't unrealistically aim to do something 'big' to [Grid]'s fleet.

Just planning to cause some setbacks and casually kill a few people.

So, when the fleet leaves, they could use it as an excuse to start the propaganda work, using the ridicule of [Grid] to strengthen their ruling status here.

After all, there are factions even within the cult magicians.

Such an opportunity, the person in charge of [Anluo Island] did not want to miss.

And now, Ronald's solo negotiation changed the situation.

With the backing of the ruler Bapulor, Ronald had quite a reputation among the cult magicians, if Ronald could promote with his personal identity, then using the plan to attack [Grid], it could naturally be replaced by more effective propaganda work.

At least from the perspective of the cult magicians managing [Anluo Island].

This is the ideal choice that ensures no casualties while achieving great effects!

"..."

The cult magician's narrative ended slowly.

After listening, Ronald couldn't even find any logical flaws for a while, almost beginning to doubt whether the negotiator sitting across from him was indeed a cult magician.

After all, those bizarre-minded guys…

Can really come up with such an idea?

Meanwhile, Gwendolin quickly reacted after hearing this narrative and immediately asked Ronald:

"Ronald, sounds good huh?"

"It avoids the crisis of fighting and makes things smooth, it's practically a win-win deal."

"No one would intentionally choose some strange stuff because of prejudice, right?"

Ronald threw a glance at Gwendolin:

"Stop provoking me, I know what I need to do!"

Though his tone wasn't good, Ronald was a pragmatic person, this approach was indeed the most suitable choice now.

So even with some discomfort in his heart, Ronald nodded in agreement:

"I can accept such a condition."

"But in return, you must also ensure not to target [Grid] and provide subsequent assistance for my actions in [Runi Kingdom]."

"Of course, no problem!" Unlike Ronald and Gwendolin's superficial harmony, the cult magicians were obviously purer. After Ronald agreed, he showed a pleased expression and stood up.

"Mr. Ronald, I'll arrange things right away."

"You can just wait here for my good news!"

After the words fell, the negotiator of the cult magicians left through the door. But he only walked a few steps, not even leaving the second-floor corridor, before hastily turning back to Ronald and asking:

"Mr. Ronald, I heard you particularly like beautiful young girls."

"Do you need me to prepare some for you?"

"Thanks, but no need." Ronald was stunned for a long time before realizing this might be the other party's usual tactic. So he immediately refused and looked at his side with an unkind gaze, "Having such a beautiful young lady here is already more than I can handle."

"Then, I shall take my leave."

The cult magician naturally didn't say more, turned around, and was about to leave.

But this time, after looking at Gwendolin and Ronald, he still made sure to close the door to the guest room before truly leaving.

"..."

The footsteps of the cult magician gradually disappeared.

Left in the guest room, with only Ronald and each other, he also straightforwardly got up from the sofa and sat opposite Gwendolin.

"Now, it's time for us to have a good talk, my 'ally' miss."

Faced with Ronald's attitude, Gwendolin was unfazed.

She also adjusted her position on the sofa, facing Ronald directly, and made a relaxed sitting posture:

"Then let's have a good talk, I have no problem with that."

Ronald spoke calmly:

"Initially signing the contract with you was because after hearing your intelligence, I determined that the cult magicians would do something very dangerous to the fleet, leading to such a decision."

"But now it seems, the information you gave me wasn't as valuable as imagined."

"Would you tear up the contract because of a judgment mistake?" Gwendolin asked with a smile, "I didn't expect that after just a few hours of signing the contract, it'd be canceled due to such a misjudgment."

Ronald maintained a calm tone, keeping his usual attitude:

"I said earlier, provocation doesn't work on me."

"And this matter, ultimately doesn't lie in my choices or judgments, but in your attitude."

Gwendolin still smiled:

"Ronald, I really like you."

"Whatever questions you ask me, I answer honestly."

"Can't be because I always speak honestly, you're going to have a bloody conflict with me?"

Seeing Gwendolin's attitude, Ronald frowned:

"If so, seriously tell me your real agenda."

"I can disregard the previous things, but this is the necessary condition for our continued cooperation."

Gwendolin also got serious, speaking sincerely for the first time:

"Then Ronald, I'll tell you seriously."

"My intention is to destroy these rampant cult magicians in the [Runi Kingdom], this won't change no matter what!"

"..."

The words echoed as Ronald and Gwendolin locked eyes.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly grew tense.

Both relied on the expressions in their eyes to judge the situation, neither spoke for a moment.

Clap-clap-clap—

Then footsteps of the cult magician sounded outside.

Ronald and Gwendolin both changed their expressions, then returned to their initial positions.

And that facade of harmony.

After this brief conversation, it seemed no longer the same.
